What is it that makes UKS' mridangams ring more than other kutchi mridangams. I got this from his album Garland of Rhythm.
His fingers!
To be honest, I've played one of his types of mridangams. There is distinct difference in the sound my mridangam makes and his.
Hello everyone.
I am a percussionist, music critic and writer
As a mridangam player, the most common problem is the ripping of the graphite "karini" at the initial stages and even balance of the top head./
Is there a way to curtail this problem.

TVG Paste is a secret ;)
can i have step by step instructions on how to remove and replace the heads of a kutchi mridangam? it was damaged on it's way from india..i am in the U.S now..desperetly needed a mridangam so i take to class but all were too expensive here in U.S so i had one shipped from india and it was very carelessly handled by DHL shipping and now the bass and tennor both sound like your tapping on a bucket. please help me on how to remove the heads and replace them with newer ones..any special tools needed?
if anyone knows someone in the U.S that'll sell their mridangam for cheap price please let me know. i'm desperately searching for a kutchi mridangam to play.
Unni: I guess you got your mridangam by now, I certainly hope so. It may not be damaged but may have become slack: could you see damage?
Anyway, you have a teacher so you will be guided in this.
SR: No. There is no way other than high quality manufacture in the first place. And even then it cannot be guaranteed.
The black is simply glued to the skin; if the glue gives it falls off. That is all there is too it. The more carefully it is applied the longer it should last.
